Album : Carly Simon
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I was his foreigner
And he was mine
We ate on terraces
And drank the cheapest wine
And he believed in me
Down by the serpentine
How was I to know
It was the best thing
To come along for a long time

I turned the page
And saw three children with smiles
I looked to see
What I could make of the youngest child
And as she blew the candles out
She turned five
How was I to know
It was the best thing
To come along for a long time

What do the people at the end of the world do
About time? What about time?
Their secret sleeps with me
I was his foreigner   And he was mine   We ate on terraces   And drank the cheapest wine   And he believed in me   Down by the serpentine   How was I to know   It was the best thing   To come along for a long time      I turned the page   And saw three children with smiles   I looked to see   What I could make of the youngest child   And as she blew the candles out   She turned five   How was I to know   It was the best thing   To come along for a long time      What do the people at the end of the world do   About time? What about time?   Their secret sleeps with me
